Reaching the middle of their European and UK headline tour tonight, THORNHILL took to the stage in Leeds, at the well known rock and alternative venue The Key Club, supported by LOVE IS NOISE and GRAPHIC NATURE.

They immediately bring the crowd to life with their first song In the shadow of your former self., followed closely by their newer single, and what seemed to be a fan favourite from their performance, Jawbreaker. The room reacted immediately, opening up the first of many mosh pits to appear throughout the night, this continues on until the crowd settle for a moment, as vocalist Cam Humphrey introduces one of their slower tempo songs Boutique, one by one the room is lit up with a sea of flashlights, creating a powerful atmosphere from start to finish. As the final notes of their set reverberated through the venue, it was clear that LOVE IS NOISE had set the tone for the night.

They are known for their heavy breakdowns, with an almost menacing sound that certainly caught everyone’s attention. The venue had now filled from front to back and the stage was engulfed in eerie green lighting. It seemed they had many fans in the crowd as there was an amazing reaction and immense energy in the room as soon as they stepped out to their songs Locked In and Blinded from their most recent album Who Are You When No One Is Watching?.
The vocals and lyrics are full of emotion and grit, which all comes to light as vocalist Harvey Freeman takes time to speak on mental health awareness between songs, which was followed by loud applause and appreciation from the audience. As well as covering a lot of their new album during the set, they also included a few tracks from their older album, last year’s a mind waiting to die, such as Killing Floor, which had everyone on their feet, head banging, moshing and two-stepping along until the very end. Exhilarating!

Walking out with a one-two punch of The Hellfire Club and Arkangel, the band ignite chaos from the first note and as fan favourite songs, such as Coven and Views From The Sun, get airtime, it didn’t take long for their first mosh pit to break out.
As the night progressed, the pits surged in size, doubling and splitting the room in two. As well as the favourites, they also played newer single Obsession, that a lot of their fans seem to have quickly fallen in love with, as well brand new single, nerv, a bruising number that we’re confident will follow closely in its footsteps.

The style and stage presence of THORNHILL was like no other, their enthusiasm and passion was clear, they had the room captivated from start to finish. A triumphant set from one of Australia’s leading lights in metalcore.
